There's an especially annoyed Man in Black in the bar.
K strides from the Front Door straight to a booth, not missing a step as he calls out, "Bar, a bourbon and anything you have on Remelian heavy construction methods and materials specifications, please."
By the time he slides into the booth, a glass and two imposing manuals appear on the table with a slight *bamph*.
"Thank you, darlin'"
Next to these K puts down a PDA for note-taking and an odd device that, with a flick of the switch, creates a small hologram of New York's Guggenheim Museum. Except this one seems to have been screwed halfway into the ground.
K barely has the first manual open before he starts grumbling about "goddamn Remelian practical jokes."

"All right. Naraht, you have every right to tell me, as a friend, to go to hell with this next question. No apology needed."
"But why aren't you looking forward to that? Wouldn't it be an honor?"
Of course, K knows perfectly well that most honors don't come without a heavy price.

She shakes her head. "I don't think I'm up to that particular challenge."
A sad smile creeps across her face. "At least I have 49,000 years to try to get ready if that is the case, but still.."

That's a heavy price, all right.
"Well, yeah, you've certainly got some time to get a head start. That's a burden to bear, though, Naraht, no lie."
"Sort of makes you wonder, doesn't it, if that might be why Bar brought you here? Maybe this place could be a refuge. At least, you know it's going to be around 'til then."
"Just a thought anyway."

She smiles at him. "Thanks, K."
